While We’re Still on a Sweet Note….

I’m not sure if there is a better combo than chocolate, peanut butter and bananas. This recipe immediately caught my attention while I was food blog surfing a few weeks ago. The recipe has been sitting on my counter top since then and I finally had some overripe bananas to make the recipe. It originated from a blog called YumSugar. I knew it would be good just looking and reading through the recipe. I of course added my own twist on it by adding peanut butter to the banana cupcake batter and used a dark chocolate cocoa in the frosting. Her recipe adds a dulce de leche filling inside the middle which would be delicious, but it’s a 2 hour process that I passed on. Maybe next time I’ll try it.

I caught my 2 year old stealing one before dinner when I told him to wait. He tried fooling me, but the empty cupcake wrapper on the floor gave it away!

Talk about heaven sent! I’m not just filling space here, these are so good! Use up those ripe bananas on these puppies! Enjoy!

Mix in the rest of the powdered sugar. Blend well. Add the rest of the milk and mix completely. If your frosting is too thin, add more sugar (or cocoa depending on taste). If it is too thick, add more milk.

Just made these cupcakes and they are to die for! Only thing is that I had to cook them 12 minutes longer than suggested…maybe its my oven? Anyway I just wanted to thank you for the recipe! It is absolutely wonderful! Keep up the great work!-Kiley
